My wife and I had reservations which I recommend. The service was good and the food was very good. Great atmosphere overlooking the beach. Socially distanced tables. We enjoyed it.
If you like a stylish lounge to chill with your loved one over a tasty cocktail, this is the place to be! Philipsburg is super calming and Ocean Lounge in Holland House Hotel creates a super cozy atmosphere. This was our preferred relaxing spot for evenings on SXM. The food in the restaurant is also a recommendation!
